  • Publication number: 20210292438
    Abstract: A monomeric bispecific polyethylene glycol (PEG) engager that includes an anti-PEG Fab fused to a disulfide stabilized scFv that specifically binds to a cell surface antigen. The PEG engager, in the absence of PEG, remains monomeric upon binding to the cell surface antigen on a cell and remains on the surface of the cell. Also disclosed is a method for treating cancer by administering a PEG engager followed by a PEGylated anti-cancer agent. Further disclosed is a method for diagnosing a cell-mediated disorder by administering a PEG engager followed by a PEGylated diagnostic agent.
